Those ideas came in the shape of the new Resonance Concept. The concept SUV is roughly the same size as Nissan’s Murano SUV, which is due for a redesign in 2014, and Nissan leaders say you can expect to see a lot of the Resonance styling in future Nissan SUVs.

Up front, the SUV has boomerang-shaped headlights similar to those seen on other recent Nissan cars. Moving back, the blacked-out pillars help the roof look like it's floating above the greenhouse.

The rear of the SUV is sharply tapered and features boomerang-shaped taillights that echo the shape of the headlights.

Inside, the car is all concept, with a giant touch screen in the center console. Wood and leather covers pretty much every surface, and the roof is glass, giving the five people inside a panoramic view.

"This design is not meant to appeal to traditional two-box SUV shoppers, but rather to those whose fashion and design choices make a statement. For Nissan, this concept makes our statement about the future of this segment," said Francois Bancon, Nissan’s general manager of product strategy and planning.

Powering the Resonance is a hybrid system combining a 2.5 liter engine with an electric motor.
